Bugs fixed in git, not on an ISO: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/12896 (dupe, above) - with usbdelay instead of rootdelay http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/12944 http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/12947
So. Please test the beta2 bugs and issues, so we can close them. I want to make sure there's no other installer bugs before I release another package and rebuild the ISOs
If all goes well, I'll build and release the final 2009.01 release on Wed or so.

Hi,
I booted (virtualbox 2.1.2) the archlinux-2009.01-beta2-core-x86_64.iso and display these two errors messages at startup:
:: Running Hook [archiso-early] /init: 9: cannot create /: Is a directory /init: 9: /etc/modprobe.d/usb-delay: not found :: Running Hook [udev]
The instalation runs OK, but when installing GRUB, this not installed. /arch/setup, display that are installed OK but in /tmp/grub.log
The file /mnt/boot/grub/stage1 not read correctly.
I used the same configuration of partitions and filesystems that with i686
sda1 / with EXt3 or EXT4 sda5 /var sda6 /home
Trying to installing manual with grub-install fail with the same error. md5sum of the stage1 are OK.
BTW: booting with archlinux-2009.01-beta2-core-i686.iso in this machine that installed arch64 and executing:
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt grub-install --no-floppy --recheck --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda
works OK, and grub is now installed.
Is the only difference the --no-floppy switch?
No, the same error appears when trying to reinstall GRUB with the x86_64 iso from the bash prompt with this command.
In resume: Installing arch64 with /arch/setup grub FAIL (No error message at setup, it displayed that installed OK) Opening a root console ALT+F2 and executing "grub-install --no-floppy --recheck --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda" FAIL. Chrooting to /mnt (before with --bind mount proc, sys and dev), grub-install OK Reboot, boot again x86_64 iso, logging as root, mounting sda1, executing the grub-install then FAIL. Reboot, boot i686 iso, logging as root, mounting sda1, executing the grub-install then OK
I have not tested on a real machine, only in virtualbox 2.1.2, maybe an issue with it, it is running at 32 bits host system, i will reboot on arch64 and retry installing grub at vbox.
Nop, same error running virtualbox on 64 bits.
The solution is, or chroot in /mnt or when executing grub-install using the grub in /mnt/sbin not in the /sbin (grub-sfx)
Aha, that's an important distinction. I totally ignored that the ISO is using grub-gfx. Hmmmm
